Description

Set in the foothills of the Shawangunk Mountains, The Villa at Happy Minnewaska is a charming and well-appointed Cape offering more room to stretch out, with 3 bedrooms, an updated kitchen, and just the right mix of warmth, space, and style for your upstate retreat. Whether you're looking to host friends and family, rent as a getaway, or settle in full time, this turnkey home is ready for its next chapter. It has also been a successful short-term rental, with the potential to significantly offset carrying expenses should you choose to continue that use. Inside, the main level features a sun-filled living area, a full bedroom and bath, and a newly renovated kitchen that's the heart of the home. Outfitted with deep navy cabinetry, modern brass accents, solid-surface counters, and updated appliances, it's both beautiful and functional; equally suited to slow mornings or festive gatherings. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms with soft natural light and extra space to work, play, or sleep in. Outside, the backyard is a ready-made escape: a pool for hot summer days, a hot tub tucked under a covered gazebo, a patio for outdoor dining, and a firepit for long evenings under the stars. The nearly 2-acre property is shared with a neighboring home, but each has its own fenced yard, driveway, and full sense of privacy and a thoughtful setup that feels peaceful but not isolated. Located just minutes from Minnewaska State Park and Mohonk Preserve, and close to Arrowood Brewery, Inness, Westwind Orchard, Kelder's Farm, and a growing collection of restaurants and markets in Kerhonkson and nearby towns like Accord, Stone Ridge, and New Paltz. You'll find hiking trails, waterfalls, local farms, and hidden swimming holes all within easy reach. Homes this size, in this condition, and in this location are getting harder to find...especially with move-in-ready interiors, stylish updates, and outdoor amenities already in place. Whether for a weekend retreat or full-time living, The Villa offers space, comfort, and a sense of place that's hard to replicate. Don't wait; opportunities like this don't come around often.
